The NSPCC's mission is to end cruelty to children. Our vision is a society in which all children are loved, valued and able to fulfil their potential. In other words, a society that will not tolerate child abuse - whether sexual, physical, emotional, or neglect.

The NSPCC's core values are based on the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child. They are:
Children must be protected from all forms of violence and exploitation

Everyone has a responsibility to support the care and protection of children

We listen to children and young people, respect their views and respond to them directly

Children should be encouraged and enabled to fulfil their potential

We challenge inequalities for children and young people

Every child must have someone to turn to
